*Image of Indiana History by Giphy. Autumn Awakes Rustling ochre, crimson leaves all daylong, A coolness settles, shorter days advanced, Easterlies, westerlies, tradewinds strong, Southward birds fly, so parts summer birdsong, Mid leaves lay spiked beech, acorn--care enhanced, Rustling ochre, crimson leaves all daylong, Sweetness in brambles flourished berries throng, Black, elder, wild rasp--touched tastebuds danced, Easterlies, westerlies, tradewinds strong, Favored spots, here and there, all lists are long, 'Tis time hearts invent for landscape has entranced, Rustling ochre, crimson leaves all daylong, Deep verdant Ivy becomes, draped headlong, Few flowers blooms hugged flown insects instanced, Easterlies, westerlies, tradewinds strong, Harvested tabled, prayers blessed belong, Autumn picturesque, surroundings felt...glanced, Rustling ochre, crimson leaves all daylong, Easterlies, westerlies, tradewinds strong. 2020 August 21 *7th Place* Serenity Awakened ~~Regina McIntosh: Judged 2020 August 27 *1st Place* COMPLETELY YOUR CHOICE (20)any form any theme ~~Brian Strand: Judged 2020 August 03

William, you have taken the canvass of autumn and painted an amazing picture of fall images - the birdsong leaving, the brambles, colorful leaves. This is one of my favorites from your pen! Congratulations on your winning placement!
